A pure-bred Newfie raised in Nova Scotia, Julia started out playing piano but began writing her own songs once she had a lil' training on barritone sax, jazz guitar and cello. Known for her improvisational ear, Julia has been called a "psychic cellist" with "The voice of a celtic siren."Now, after decades of playing with countless musicians, building a repretoire of everything from Spaghetti Western covers, to heavy metal bands, to homegrown hiphop (while covering Nirvana, Tupac, Neil Young & Motown classics) on cello and guitar-- she is bringing you her own music & first album on a cross-Canada tour in 2011.Her oddball style & pragmatic optimism coupled with her joie de vivre may well win you over: She'll serenade you like the near-mermaid she is.
